Sofya Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 Q: Membrane proteins of mice cells were marked with green and membrane proteins of human were marked with red. The cells were fused together. What would be seen after 2 hours? a) Red and green markers fully mixedb) All red markers and no green markersc) Half of the new cell with green markers and the other half with redd) Red markers on the inside of the membrane and green markers on the outside The answer was a. And I don't understand why. What principle is under this? It should be quite easy, but I still can't fathom it out. Thank you in advance!

Elc Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 Proteins can move freely within the phospholipid bilayer, according to the fluid-mosaic model. So basically since they can move around, the green and red will fully mix. 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
